Casamigos Reposado Tequila

88 Bamboo found Casamigos Reposado the more drinkable of the pair — butterscotch and toffee with the vegetal notes pushed back, more depth, and a more satisfying finish than the Blanco. Casamigos started as a house tequila for George Clooney and Rande Gerber's neighboring vacation homes in Cabo; they launched it commercially in 2013 with Mike Meldman, and Diageo bought it in 2017 for close to a billion dollars, kicking off the celebrity-tequila era. The Reposado is 100% blue Weber agave grown a minimum of seven years in the red clay of the Los Altos highlands, roasted 72 hours in traditional brick ovens, slow-fermented 80 hours with a proprietary yeast, double-distilled, aged seven months in American white oak, and bottled at 40% ABV, with the founders' signatures on the label; it was made at NOM 1416 and now at NOM 1609, so check your bottle. The bartender in TasteTequila's comments serves it with an orange slice and says the guests love it — then he tells them whose it is. 88 Bamboo: rich butterscotch, toffee earthiness, rounded, and, measured against other additive-style tequilas, actually quite enjoyable. Honest note, and it's the whole conversation: Drinkhacker found the line very sweet with the agave beaten back, enthusiasts read the vanilla as added, and purists have Fortaleza and Tapatío at the price — this is the smooth, sweet reposado for the drinker who wants no burn and a famous label. For a reposado Margarita, on the rocks with orange, or a shot without salt. The house of friends, rested.
